In the world there is perhaps more well-known computer security expert, than Edward Snowden. Therefore, when such a person is in interview popular edition of The Guardian says that the popular Dropbox service is not only insufficiently concerned about your privacy, but also directly involved in the global surveillance system PRISM, Then it makes at least think about it. And then start looking for a decent alternative to Dropbox. The more so that in the same interview, he points directly at her - a service storage SpiderOak.
The general principle of SpiderOak approximately the same as that of the Dropbox. You create an account, you download the desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) or mobile (Android, iOS) and the client You can upload their data to the cloud with the ability to sync between all connected devices. But there are some differences that distinguish the service from competitors.
First and foremost is the increased attention to the privacy of your data that is provided by adherence to the principle of "zero knowledge". This means that all your files are encrypted with reliable algorithms and in this form transferred to the company's servers. And the password is stored only on your side, making it impossible for unauthorized access to data.
The second important difference SpiderOak - is the ability to synchronize not only the files that you put in a special application folder, but any folder you specified. This allows much more flexible to use the service, using it to back up important data without having to move them to a special folder.
Finally, the third feature of the service is to use a special technology delta coding, consisting in that when you change a file on the server is transmitted only information about the differences between the previous and current versions file. This can significantly speed up the synchronization speed and stored on the server information on all previous versions of the file with the possibility of their recovery.
